IF HAVE FORGOTTEN WHO LEAH IS CHECK CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

LOREN'S POINT OF VIEW

I walked into the boutique, giving a tight smile to the cashier and at the corner of my eyes I spotted Leah, I looked away immediately, pretending to shop.

I took out some clothes not paying attention, I walked over to where Leah is at pretending not to see her.

"Loren?" I turned to feign surprise.

"Leah," I called out, pulling her to a hug, which is super awkward.

Leah could be the key to knowing what job my dear husband is actually involved in. She was able to slip once, I can get do it again.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I shop here all the time." I lied.

"Really? I own this place." I gasped, trying to look surprised.

"This place is amazing." I complimented. I felt my phone vibrate, it's been blowing up since morning.

I had to keep on silent.

"I'll just take this."  I took out my phone.

Its Gemma.

"Happy birthday bitch." What... Its.

It's my birthday.

How can I forget my own birthday, no wonder my phone has been ringing nonstop.

"Thanks, girl."

"I've been calling you since midnight, where the fuck you put your phone at? No worries. So you know the drill, I have today planned already, get your 25-year-old ass down here and get this fucking birthday started." She's always more excited about my birthday than I am.

"I'll be there for the birthday shenanigans." I laughed as she kept on screaming, I cut off the phone. I turned to Leah.

"I take it that it's your birthday, so happy birthday, take whatever clothes or shoes you want for free, take it as my birthday gift to you." Leah smiles.

"That's so kind of you." I returned a smile.

"You know, we should hang out sometime." I offered.

"Yeah, we should." She agreed.

"Great, doing anything now?" I tried not to sound too desperate.

I'm desperate.

She's my only hope, I believe I can easily get to her.

"Now, I mean it's your birthday, you should have something planned."

"I don't really, Javi's out of town and that's it, I have nothing to do." I lied.

"Then I can't have to spend your birthday alone." She places her hand on my shoulder.

Great.

~~~~

"We could be good friends." I smiled as I watched her gulp her wine.

Someone has had enough to drink.

Maybe it's time I start with the questions, the faster the better. So I can finally enjoy my birthday and get to Gemma before she buries me alive.

"I know, right?" I said, mentally trying possible ways to divert the conversation to Javi and her husband's job.

I took out my phone, pretending to be pressing it for a while, I looked up at her she's doing the same.  I immediately clicked on sound recorder once I noticed it started recording, I placed my phone upside down.
